1)X1, ethanol concentration (70%); X2, microwave power (160 W); X3, extraction time (100 s).
2)X1, ethanol concentration (70%); X2, extraction temperature (97.5℃); X3, extraction time (3 h).
3)Energy consumption was calculated in terms of tons of oil equivalent (MAE; 0.16kW × 0.028h × 2,300kcal/107 = 0.0000011 TOE, CRE; 2kW × 3h × 2,300kcal/107 = 0.00138 TOE).
4)Carbon dioxide emission was calculated in terms of Tones of CO2 equivalent(MAE; 0.16kW × 0.028h × 0.4585 TOE2/MWh = 0.0000021 TCO2, CRE; 2kW × 3h × 0.4585TCO2/MWh = 0.002751 TCO2/MWh = 0.002751TOC2).
